Continuing thoughts on data retention | Investigating the Imponderable
https://investigatingtheimponderable.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/continuing-thoughts-on-data-retention
Some anthropology graduate students, trying to do something with our fieldnotes. January 13, 2013. Continuing thoughts on data retention. Sorry for the long absence. I fell into the final moments of my fieldwork at the same time I started re-reading all of my fieldnotes from two and a half years of chunks of fieldwork. Needless to say, I went looking for the forest and face-planted on a few trees in the meantime. Given my understanding of this important difference between indices and codes, I better unde...

Early Attempts at Analysis with Excel | Investigating the Imponderable
https://investigatingtheimponderable.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/early-attempts-at-analysis-with-excel
Some anthropology graduate students, trying to do something with our fieldnotes. January 22, 2013. Early Attempts at Analysis with Excel. Okay, here’s what I’ve got:. 1) I did a line by line index of all my interviews, archival data, observations, and reflections. 2) I have that index in excel (it’s 4 columns by 16425 rows). 3) I also have six pattern groups that reflect, for lack of a better term, the spheres of context that i think are at play. What I want to do:. What I think I have to do:. You are co...

Some anthropology graduate students, trying to do something with our fieldnotes. Monthly Archives: October 2012. October 13, 2012. Thinking through data retention…. Therefore, what I could see adding is the following. At the top of each excel sheet, insert maybe three or four sentences: (for example) Charlotte and I are having a conversation and she tells me about a book. After a while she starts crying. Then she collected herself and we continued the conversation. It was kind of weird be...I think that ...

Some anthropology graduate students, trying to do something with our fieldnotes. Monthly Archives: September 2012. September 24, 2012. It starts with the field notes (I think). This uncomfortable realization also reminded me of other reasons why I am frustrated with long form field notes:. I also worry that I lose the flow of conversations – who said what? What did I say? All of that becomes muddled when I’m trying to piece my jottings together into some kind of sensible long form whole. Comes directly f...

Some anthropology graduate students, trying to do something with our fieldnotes. January 13, 2013. More Internet resources for data analysis. Unlike my earlier post about the Internet as a resource, where some of the website resources were more appropriate, at least initially, for small businesses, the websites listed here are geared towards qualitative data analysis of the sort undertaken by social scientists. And Another look at Qualitative data analysis for Mac users: Dedoose. VMWare Fusion: http:/ ww...

Some anthropology graduate students, trying to do something with our fieldnotes. September 24, 2012. It starts with the field notes (I think). This uncomfortable realization also reminded me of other reasons why I am frustrated with long form field notes:. Once I transform my jottings into long form writing, with proper transitions to increase the readability and sense of the entry, I find it difficult, if not impossible, to convince myself to re-read a majority of my long form entries. What did I say?
